Age does not matter. Your videos are well made, engaging, informative and entertaining. Keep going.👍.

[@hazels27]

Watching the older videos now until you release a new one!

[@kazzicup]

I love your room at the Principal hotel. 💜 Relaxing room. One can have the best sleep and rest there.

A nice reminder from the days when the WCML used to work.

For real. Now you have to pray that your train runs on time the full length and not get punted off at Preston with every train cancelled.

Good double use of a journey for the red v blue race and this log! Well done....

[@ellenthorne818]

Your videos and blogs are very informative and excellent viewing, I've even made a wish list. Unfortunately unable to do any due to health and mobility problems. Yours and Scott's videos really cheer me up, how another challenge? Maybe Europe?

Happy memories. On first visit back to uk in 30 years in 2012. We travelled Glasgow to London on Virgin first class, as it wasn’t much more expense. Fabulous journey, haven’t been able to better it, even on Eurostar, Italian or French trains. Returned again in 2014 and 2018…last time using the underground I thought nah, that’s enough of London

The lions are impressive. Keep vlogging, after all it's the content which is king and who better than an experienced hand at that . Enjoying it immensely.

What you go through to show us how to travel (and how not to). Well done!

“All the humanity!” …. Living in London is definitely a young person’s “gig” at least as it pertains to mass transit. The “tube” is very “cozy” and the carriages come to within a couple of inches from scraping the walls of the tunnel. That’s impressive engineering work when it comes to establishing carriage overall specs. But the icing is without a doubt calling McDonalds fast food “global cuisine”. Cheers 🥂 🇨🇦

It's incredible when we look back at how far trains have come from the days of British Rail. I was sorry to see Virgin lose their franchise for both the XC & West Coast services. Simon Calder, well respected travel correspondent & journalist paid tribute to Virgin for demonstrating how a good rail service should be run.

Awesome videos! Keep the great work up! 👍👍👍

[@jamesdoyle8442]

Scott Love your. VIDEO 👍👍

[@michaelharkin3150]

Was nice meeting you earlier today in paisley

[@philipbrailey]

I’m in Sydney. I can’t find where trains are cheaper than flying. I’m going there in just over 8 weeks.

[@andrews0208]

What point going to charring cross from Euston to then go padding would made more sense go straight to paddington from Euston, it’s only like two or three stops on the tube

“Hi everyone!” 2020s best quote

[@scottchristie6734]

What's the backstory to your locomotive comments. Did that happen to you. They forget to put one on?

[@DateTwoRelate]

Sixteen stops? God man, you'd just about be arriving now, late in 2022!

[@andrewjameson5918]

100th Like, and i have surveyed Russell SQ Tube many years ago.

[@keithmiller9665]

Awful luggage storage space on Virgin Trains. OK for cabin hand luggage, but suitcase is really difficult to store. More like a Ryanair plane than train.

[@dlittlester]

It's been over 30 years since I've been in London. There's no way I could afford to visit now. That's okay, though. I've discovered the north, and like it better.

[@jackwills7092]

A double room at this hotel 225 per night

[@phillipecook3227]

Does anyone know why the Scottish government stripped Virgin of the West Coast franchise?.

[@malo66]

I don't think it was a Scottish government decision. And it may be Virgin were fed up with the costs involved; I don't really remember.

[@AlvinOfficial-UK]

It was Department of Transport based in England.

[@class3214]

Oh god, when Virgin trains were still a thing :(

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Working in travel, the industry here in Scotland were genuinely sad to see the Virgin franchise go. Just like Virgin Atlantic, they weren't as 'stuffy' as some other operators.

[@jenniedarling3710]

They still exist, on the cross country route.

[@neilburns8869]

No 2 ways about it, Virgin trains were the best!
